Ondo State House of Assembly said on Monday that it has nothing to do with the tuition increase announced by the Governing Council of the Adekunle Ajasin University , Akungba Akoko , saying the council did not carry the state legislature along before taking the decision.
Speaking with journalists on the development, the Chairman House Committee on Information, Mr. Fatal Olotu urged the protesting students to remain calm while the Assembly took a decision that would favor them.
He said,” We dissociate ourselves from the proposed new fees. We were not carried along, we are not aware of the new fees. All the announcement on the new fees would be revisited."
Also, the speaker of the House, Mr . Bamidele Oloyeloogun, said since the governing council failed to report to the House Committee on Tertiary Institutions, the Assembly would not support the increment.
